Same family, two jobs: one rides between the house and the RV, the other moves into the house for good.
The BLUETTI Apex 200 stores 2,560Wh, delivers 3,200W at 120V only, takes 3,000W of solar and keeps USB, a 12V socket and a 12V/30A Anderson port on the unit, at 59.3 lb. The BLUETTI Apex 300 stores 2,765Wh and delivers 3,840W at 120V or 240V, with a 14-50 outlet and a 50A input for a home panel, at 83.8 lb, but needs the Hub D1 for USB and 12V. BLUETTI itself pitches the Apex 200 as the more movable 120V system and the Apex 300 as the home setup. If you never need 240V, the Apex 200 is the easier box to live with.
Below: every difference with numbers, a 20-second calculator for your own gear, eight modeled situations, and what published tests found on the Apex 300. As of November 4, 2026, no full independent test of the Apex 200 exists.
Prices $400 apart today. The Apex 200 is 24.5 lb lighter, takes 600W more solar and has USB, 12V and an Anderson port built in; the Apex 300 holds 205Wh more, delivers 640W more, adds 240V and a 50A input for a home panel.

The five differences that decide it
Both are BLUETTI LFP batteries rated for 6,000+ cycles, with three or four 20A outlets, a TT-30 and room for up to six B300K or B500K batteries. These five gaps decide it.
Will it run your setup? Check in 20 seconds
Estimates use 85% usable capacity and 70% of rated solar output. Real results vary with temperature, inverter load, shade and appliance cycling. Fridge and freezer watts are daily averages and do not include compressor startup surges.
Runtime by appliance, one at a time
Simple energy estimates, not measured runtimes. About 2,176Wh usable on the Apex 200 and 2,350Wh on the Apex 300; Trusted Reviews got 2.58kWh out of an Apex 300 at 2kW, and nobody has measured an Apex 200 yet.
Appliance for appliance, the Apex 300 lasts 8% longer than the Apex 200.

The price gap, in numbers
The BLUETTI Apex 300 costs $400 more than the BLUETTI Apex 200 and adds 205Wh: that is $1.95 per extra Wh, against $0.43 per Wh for the Apex 200.
Prices refresh daily from BLUETTI US.BLUETTI rates both at 6,000+ cycles, the Apex 200 to 70% of capacity and the Apex 300 to 80%, so a cost-per-cycle card would not compare like with like. Both grow with the same B300K or B500K batteries, so expansion doesn’t change the gap. Prices move often; our engine refreshes them daily.
Eight modeled situations, worked out
Same formula as the calculator above: 85% of the rated capacity, no extra battery. The fridge averages 60W, about 525kWh a year.
24-hour outage, essentials only
Almost a full day on either; the Apex 300 runs about two hours longer. Both add a B300K or B500K for more.
Microwave, coffee maker and toaster together
Both stay under their rating. Spread the three across outlets: each 5-20R on the Apex 200 tops out at 20A, within 3,200W in total.
A 240V well pump
Only the Apex 300: its voltage selector puts 120/240V on the 14-50. The Apex 200 is 120V only.
RV with a 30A inlet and 12V gear
Both take the 30A cord directly. The Apex 200 also has a 12V/30A Anderson port and a 12V socket on the unit, and recharges from BLUETTI’s Charger 2 while you drive.
Refill from solar, each at its built-in maximum
The Apex 200 refills faster from a big array; BLUETTI says about 1.7 h to full with both of its solar inputs. The Apex 300 reaches 4,000W only with the SolarX 4K add-on.
CPAP, how many nights
About a week on either. Check with your device maker before relying on a UPS mode for medical gear.
Backup that switches over by itself
Close call. The Apex 200 switches within 15ms, but its UPS mode is off by default: set it in the app. The Apex 300 lists 20ms, or 0ms on two outlets in 240V mode. Both US manuals rule out data servers and workstations.
Moving it
Neither has wheels. BLUETTI calls the Apex 200 a two-handed carry; the Apex 300 is 24.5 lb heavier and a job for two people.
